Kona and I made a new friend on our morning walk at Sharon Woods today. He was sitting calmly next to the hike/bike trail, munching on leaves. At first, I thought he was injured, because Kona's presence - accompanied by frantic whimpering, sniffing, jumping, wagging, and quivering - didn't disturb him at all. Then I realized he just didn't care. He ambled away slowly and disappeared down his hole.
So what was he? We're not sure. Kona vacillates between thinking he was a snack, a toy, a friend, something to retrieve, or something to herd. (Kona's status as a mixed breed sometimes leads to serious confusion.) He was dark brown, furry, about the size of a guinea pig, with squinty eyes (nocturnal, maybe?), a long rat-like tail, and oversized rear feet that looked claw-like (but may have been webbed - I couldn't tell). Vote for your favorite in the poll!
